Do girls have Adam's apples?

The Adam's apple is an important physiological feature of the male body. Generally, after men enter puberty, an Adam's apple will grow in the throat. As the Adam's apple grows, the male's voice will also change. The Adam's apple can effectively tell whether a person is male or female. Some girls find that there is something hard in their throat when they touch their throat. So will girls have an Adam's apple?

Do girls have Adam's apples?

Will girls have Adam's apples? It is normal for girls to have Adam's apples, and there are many reasons why girls have Adam's apples. It does not necessarily mean there is a problem with your health. Therefore, when you find that you or someone around you (girls) has an Adam's apple, don't panic. The most appropriate way is to go to the hospital for relevant examinations as soon as possible, find out the cause, and then prescribe the right medicine. The editor reminds that girls should not feel shy after discovering that they have Adam's apple. They should promptly inform their parents or a trusted person and get checked out early to avoid worsening of the condition.

Next, I will introduce in detail the reasons why girls have Adam's apples. Generally speaking, there are three reasons why girls have Adam's apples, as follows:

1. Girls have Adam's apples because of endocrine disorders

The reason why some girls have Adam's apples is due to endocrine disorders. The dominant sex hormone in women's bodies is estrogen, and the content of androgen is extremely low. If the ovaries are not functioning properly, or there are problems with endocrine glands such as the pituitary gland and adrenal glands, the androgen content in the body will increase. Then, the androgen phenomenon will occur, with masculine manifestations such as a prominent Adam's apple, excessive hair growth, and a deepening voice. At the same time, some characteristics that women should have do not change significantly. From this we can see that if a girl’s Adam’s apple is caused by endocrine disorders, the problem of a girl’s Adam’s apple can be improved by simply adjusting the endocrine disorders.

2. Girls have Adam's apples because of genetics

In addition to endocrine disorders, girls' Adam's apples may also be caused by genetics. The reason is simple: the growth and development characteristics of the previous generation will be passed on to the next generation. If a father has a particularly large Adam's apple, it is possible that this will be passed on to his daughter, causing her Adam's apple to be more prominent than other girls. This is a normal physiological phenomenon, don't panic too much.

3. Girls have Adam's apples because they are too thin

The Adam's apple, to put it simply, refers to the cartilaginous protrusion in the human throat. The human Adam's apple is composed of 11 pieces of cartilage as a support, the most important and largest of which is called the thyroid cartilage. In fact, we all have had Adam's apples, whether men or women. The fetus's throat bones begin to develop when it is 2 months old, and continue to grow every year until 5 to 6 years after birth. However, from the age of five or six to puberty, the growth of laryngeal cartilage basically stops. So, whether it's a boy or a girl, their thyroid cartilage is the same size.

After entering puberty, due to changes in the human body's endocrine system, male androgen secretion increases, secondary sexual characteristics gradually appear, and the thyroid cartilage gradually increases in size and protrudes forward. As women's ovaries secrete more estrogen, their secondary sexual characteristics appear and their thyroid cartilage grows, but the growth rate is slow and even, so their Adam's apple generally does not stand out. However, some women are so thin that they appear to be just bones, especially the Adam's apple in the throat which is particularly prominent.

How to get rid of Adam's apple in girls? It needs to be treated with the right medicine

1. If it is caused by endocrine disorders, then naturally you just need to regulate the problem of endocrine disorders. The following are several methods for regulating endocrine disorders for your reference.

(1) Develop a good lifestyle and form regular living habits.

(2) Avoid excessive fatigue and excitement, and maintain a happy spirit to prevent negative emotions from affecting the endocrine system.

(3) Ensure adequate nutrition and sleep, and eat more high-protein and vitamin foods such as grains, fresh fruits and vegetables.

2. If the reason is that you are too thin, it is recommended to gain weight appropriately. Women should pay attention to eating more ribs or pig's trotters. These foods are rich in fat and trace elements. Eating more can help replenish the body's nutrients. Pig's trotters are also rich in collagen, so eating more can help to achieve beauty and whitening effects. After gaining weight, the neck will grow some meat, which can help cover the Adam's apple on the neck.

Warm reminder: There must be a scientific method to gain weight, otherwise it will be detrimental to your health and will cause excessive obesity. Therefore, pay attention to the following taboos when gaining weight:

(1) Avoid staying up late often, as this can cause you to get irritated and affect your appetite.

(2) Do not eat after 9 o’clock at night, as this will increase the burden on your stomach and intestines, which is not good for your health and sleep, and is not beneficial for your bodybuilding.

(3) Do not consume too much fatty food in order to gain weight in a short period of time. This will not lead to weight gain but may cause diseases such as coronary heart disease.

(4) Do not deliberately increase the amount of food you eat at each meal. Because thin people usually have weak gastrointestinal function, eating too much in one meal will not only fail to absorb effectively but also increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract, making indigestion easy.
